The mention of common sense in your second paragraph entirely contradicts your first paragraph.
If schools fixed problems like this when they are reported the picture wouldn’t have been the girl’s reaction. I grew up when there were no cell phone cameras, and hence a lot of gross building maintenance lapses in the schools.
The girl acted with what used to be called common sense and she got a problem fixed that would have gone on for months or years in a school populated only by you and clones of you.
Three cheers for a girl with a sense of what was called civic responsibility when I was growing up.
Your entire response is nonsense. Why waste time taking a photo and posting to a website, then waiting for something to be done? What was the lag time between the student noticing the problem and a school official learning about it?
Just immediately go report the water problem directly to the proper school officials.
And there was no information in the story establishing that the school would not have fixed the problem if informed directly about it. You’re making assumptions not supported by story presented.
